Platform Step Ladders
Platform step ladders provide a large, flat standing surface at height — safer and more comfortable for prolonged overhead tasks than standard tread-only models. Drabest platform step ladders are available in aluminium with anti-slip platforms, handrail options, and load ratings up to 150 kg, making them a favourite for retail staff, office facilities teams, and light-trade professionals.

What Makes Platform Step Ladders Different?
Unlike standard step ladders where you stand on narrow treads, platform step ladders feature a wide, flat deck at the top — typically 300–400 mm wide — allowing both feet to stand comfortably side by side. Many models include a safety handrail or rear guardrail for additional stability when working hands-free. This makes them ideal for shelf stacking, window cleaning, light fitting, and any task requiring sustained work at height.
Key Benefits for Workplace Use
Platform ladders significantly reduce fatigue during prolonged elevated tasks and comply with working-at-height best practice guidelines. The wider standing surface reduces the risk of slipping, and the stable base design means the ladder can remain in position while you move materials or tools to and from the platform.
Choosing a Platform Step Ladder
Consider platform height, platform size, and whether a handrail or top rail is included. For retail and warehouse use, check whether the model folds to a width that fits through standard doorways. Load ratings of 150 kg are standard for trade-grade platform ladders.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the maximum safe working height for a platform step ladder?
- Safe working height depends on the platform height plus approximately 1 metre for standing reach. Always select a platform ladder that brings you to the correct working height without stretching or leaning beyond the handrail.
